User Reviews

Users consistently praise Fire Drag’s simple, reliable drag-to-open-tab functionality and its configurability. Main problems reported by multiple users are breakage after a recent Firefox update (FF129/latest), the options/settings page failing to load, and regressions in how dragged links open (background vs adjacent/new tab), which prevent expected behavior and configuration.

Pros

Core drag-to-open-links functionality works and is exactly what many users need (opens links into new tabs when dragged).
Simple, intuitive and reliable — several users report long-term satisfaction and ease of use.
Provides configurable behavior (e.g., background vs adjacent tabs and search URL customization), which users appreciate when accessible.

Cons

Stopped working for multiple users after a recent Firefox update (reports mention FF129 / latest Firefox).
Options/settings page fails to load for several users, preventing configuration of the add-on.
Regression in tab-opening behavior: links sometimes open in the background or no longer open in an adjacent/new tab as expected.

Is Fire Drag Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fire Drag requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Fire Drag has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
